If the cap separation of that box is increased from \( 300 \) mm to \( 400 \) mm at constant cap area, the second moment of area is multiplied by

  • A.1.15
  • B.1.78
  • C.1.33
  • D.2.37

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1.78

With the cap areas unchanged the second moment goes as the square of the separation: \[ \left(\frac{400}{300}\right)^2 = 1.78. \] A third more depth buys nearly four fifths more stiffness for no extra material, which is why depth is the first thing a designer reaches for.
